{"product_id":"guitar10","title":"EVH Striped Series Shapes Electric Guitar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand new from EVH! The Striped Series Shapes electric guitar brings one of Eddie Van Halen's most unusual and rarely seen designs back into the spotlight. Inspired by the guitar Eddie played during Van Halen's legendary 1981 Fair Warning tour, this striking black-and-white beauty combines a fascinating piece of rock history with the high-performance features of a genuine EVH electric guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEddie introduced his original \"Shapes\" guitar on the 1981 Fair Warning tour, alongside his equally distinctive \"Circles\" guitar. Both instruments reflected his constant experimentation with guitar construction, tone, and the emerging Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. Both were among the guitars Eddie used for drop-D tuning during the Fair Warning era, when \"Unchained\" became a concert highlight. Decades later, Eddie brought his original Shapes guitar back onstage during Van Halen's final tour in 2015, giving this unusual instrument a special place in his remarkable career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis authentic EVH Striped Series model captures the original's bold geometric artwork with a gorgeous black-and-white satin finish. Unlike most Striped Series guitars, which feature basswood bodies, the Shapes has a solid mahogany body for a rich, resonant tone with powerful mids and excellent sustain. Whether you're a guitarist, collector, or lifelong Van Halen fan, it's a remarkable work of art to own. Display it using a sturdy guitar stand or reliable wall mount, and make it the centerpiece of your music room, home studio, living room, office, or man cave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd this beauty was built to be played! It's a genuine, full-size EVH electric guitar, not a miniature replica or display-only collectible. With its powerful EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickup, fast-playing maple neck, and Floyd Rose locking tremolo with EVH D-Tuna, the Shapes delivers everything from thick, aggressive rhythms to soaring solos and screaming dive bombs. An EVH Wolfgang\/Striped Series Gig Bag is included at no extra charge!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine EVH Striped Series Shapes electric guitar, inspired by Eddie Van Halen's original 1981 Fair Warning tour guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive black-and-white geometric Shapes graphics with satin urethane finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid mahogany body for rich resonance, powerful mids, and excellent sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece, bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable EVH Modified \"C\" neck profile with smooth oiled finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-playing maple fingerboard with 12\"-16\" compound radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 jumbo frets with black dot position inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25.5\" scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient heel-mounted truss rod adjustment wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-mount EVH Wolfgang humbucking bridge pickup for powerful, harmonically rich tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle master volume control with EVH Bourns 500K low-friction potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEVH-branded Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo for dramatic dive bombs and excellent tuning stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented EVH D-Tuna for quickly switching between standard and drop-D tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloyd Rose R3 locking nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEVH-branded tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome hardware and oversized strap buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEVH-branded neck plate and Floyd Rose string retainer bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEVH nickel-plated steel strings (.009-.042)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-handed configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes tremolo arm, hex adjustment wrenches, and owner's manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes EVH Wolfgang\/Striped Series Gig Bag at no extra charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll guitars ship free within the USA via UPS, insured, and adult signature required.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Van Halen Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45302301032656,"sku":"GUITAR10","price":1699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/4950\/7024\/files\/GUITAR10-1.jpg?v=1793055713","url":"https:\/\/vanhalenstore.com\/products\/guitar10","provider":"Van Halen Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
